Month: September 2015

I’ve said there seems to be a lack of true r&b and soul music in this day and age. But there is one artist that disputes my theory – Lianne La Havas. I had the pleasure of seeing her live at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. She’s a London born talent, with more talent in her little finger than many of the pop stars who call themselves singers today. She put on a perfectly smooth show, making quick and easy transitions from song to song. She’s on tour to promote her new album, “Blood.” She performed songs from that album, as well as her debut album, “Is Your Love Big Enough?” She’s a guitarist, an arranger, a songwriter, and quite the vocalist. She combines soul and a little bit of folk and thew in a LOT of her heart to make for a beautiful show hour plus show. Here is a clip of one of my favorite songs, Au Cinema. I suggest you listen to her two albums, and catch her while you can. You won’t be disappointed. Standouts include, “Unstoppable,” “Au Cinema,” “IYLBE,” “Forget,” and “What You Don’t Do.” Her voice is heaven. Her presence is commanding. It was a beautiful night, full of beautiful music.

After a very long hiatus, I have returned again. I bring new music so just sit back, relax, and enjoy yourselves. You earned it. If you enjoy rock, dance, and loud vocals, then my friends, you have come to the right place. It’s really just a mix of everything and anything. Make sure you turn the volume up while you’re at it. Trust me, it will be well worth it. I’ve also renamed the podcast. So let this be the first of many. Welcome to the NIL NIL podcast. I hope you enjoy your stay.
